A
short drive out to the “red road” we pumped up the tires to 45psi and flew down the reasonable road.
At Naryn we stopped at a
Chinese style restaurant under a hotel and shared a bottle of beer
and two very flavorsome dishes.
With
the wifi we caught up on a few things and I sent the email to the
girls parents.
We
did a shop and I upgraded our internet for all provinces another $2
for 10GB but the catch had to pay another 40som to enable to share it
again….. Very cheap but very annoying….
Bought
some apricots, nectarines & tomatoes. Then we headed east to the
narrow gorge.
The grave yards never cease to amaze. In the middle of nowhere and such elaborate "Head stones"
About
10km’s out of town I realized we forgot fuel. John looked at the
plastic tank and could not see any which didn’t quiet make sense.
Back
to town to fill up. Both tanks full and yes there was 25 litres in
plastic tank. Out of town again.
Donkey drawn hay rake. The contrast between the old and the mobile phone always makes us smile.
Some of the bridges
were made of wood and were of an interesting design.
A group of kids in the middle of nowhere (well there were a few yurts) out playing on the swing.
The
narrow gorge was neat but made it hard to find a camp.
Finally saw a cow being milked.
Eventually one camp materialized down by the river.
